German Cucumber Salad is a refreshing summer salad made with simple ingredients that are a staple in most kitchens! This recipe is easy to make, budget-friendly, and perfect for a potluck, family dinner, or summer cookout.
No specialty tools required if you have a REALLY steady hand with a sharp knife, but for consistently thin slices I recommend a mandolin or "Spiralizer"
Ingredients
2 English cucumbers or 4 medium cucumbers
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tbsp white vinegar
1 tsp (equivalent) sweetener
1 tbsp fresh or frozen dill
1 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
Instructions
- Peel the cucumbers if desired and thinly slice them, I recommend a a mandoline slicer or "Spiralizer". The thinner the better!
- Put them in a large salad bowl.
- Sprinkle liberally with the salt - this will make them release a lot of their water and keep the salad from being "soupy".
- Allow it to sit for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Rinse cucumbers, drain well and return to large bowl.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the sour cream, vinegar, sweetener, and dill. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour dressing over cucumber slices and toss until combined. Cover and let chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Serve with a slotted spoon.
Cooks Notes:
You might consider a tiny pinch of cayenne or a small sprinkle of hot sauce
